The Fediverse Is The Future

Jan 20, 2020
• by cyberdemon

The various social media purges are ramping up. The IDDQD Press got its Christmas present from Discord when they shoah'd our server and banned the main account. So this publication, if you can even call it that instead of just some stupid blog, definitely has a vested interest in being on social media without being banned. However, we are also convinced that you, as regular citizens or perhaps someone intent on creating their own content, also want that privilege of free speech in practice, not just on paper.

To this end, we have created our own Pleroma instance, as well as a Matrix channel. We won't be making regular use of unfederated services in the future. And that is because unfederated services do not have a future, at least not in the long run.

Federated services are the future of social media in the long run for two reasons:

They're straight up more robust against companies folding, having large-scale technical issues, etc, and more importantly,

They are extremely resilient to corporate and government censorship

Nobody is really in control of a federated service

The latter is key these days. Corporate power is a greater threat to freedom of speech in practice than governments are. That's just a fact. Since nobody wants to be shut up, when social media purges meet a critical mass, which they are quickly approaching. Your alternative, of course, is Internet slavery.

ReplyAnonymous20 Jan 2020fediverse is full of mentally ills, if normies jump the ship they would start banning everything and crying about nazis. Because they cry about nazis even when there's no any.

All social media is an echochamber, disastrous cancer ruining your brain, ruining your personality, a dumpster stream of useless data. There is no future in social media.

Even if it's not political, the people discussing and posting images of airplane engines also aren't really into biologists discussing and posting images of worm populations in animal feces. Same with anime meme posts. There will be separations there.

ReplyAnonymous21 Jan 2020>That's exactly what happens and has to happen.

Yeah, but he was implying it didn't happen, yet it already has. The SJW instances already create enclaves that refuse to federate with the "Nazi" ones like shitposter.club

ReplyAnonymous21 Jan 2020Sure, and Gab temporarily or permanently shut out some of the loliposters etc.

And even stopped disclosing who they do ban - this one is the uncommon thing, BTW. So far, usually servers publish this.

ReplyAnonymous20 Jan 2020>using cuckord in the first place for anything serious

ReplyAnonymous20 Jan 2020sane people will start going offline as regulation of content and the suppressing intensifies. Internet has no future, it's just a corporate echo chamber. Nothing will change that.

ReplyAnonymous21 Jan 2020>I used someone else's servers for free and got kicked out for violating TOS! How could this happen?!People should start hosting their things again desu

ReplyAnonymous21 Jan 2020thank for kind words fellow anon. my plan is to disconnect as much as possible and eventually go completely offline (with exception for "official" business; paying bills and such)

ReplyAnonymous21 Jan 2020>and eventually go completely offlineI'd love to do that but I don't know how I'd get on without 4chan lol. It's my primary social interaction and I've been coming here for like 14 years now so it's hard to break it.

ReplyAnonymous21 Jan 2020The fediverse is one huge failure. Everyone hops on the most crowded server and welcome back to centralized faggotry.

ReplyAnonymous21 Jan 2020> WILLINGLY USED DISCORD> surprised the furry discord pedo staff fucked them in the ass and booted them off their serviceahhhhhhahaha. wow. people are just getting more fucking retarded as each day passes.

stop using services run by corporations, you useless fucks. no sympathy here. you useless cunts never learn a fucking thing until:> OH NOES! I HAVE BEEN BANNED!

ReplyAnonymous21 Jan 2020Hate to say I told you so, but I did. I was on the Discord server.

ReplyAnonymous21 Jan 2020no. the normalfag does not care. its not like they are being censored

ReplyAnonymous21 Jan 2020sadly this is true. normal fags don't care because they have been conditioned to bend over and take it like the good boys they are. leftist don't care since they have free range to scream orange man bad AND they get to go around and like the christian right in the 90's with censoring who they please.

ReplyAnonymous21 Jan 2020Well, there's been a big hullalabaloo over social media censorship, and there was this brief period where people were looking for "alternatives." I think that the biggest hurdle is conveying to people how different the fediverse truly is in the background

ReplyAnonymous21 Jan 2020Decentralization is the future, but distributed and obfuscated platforms are slow and messy.

ReplyAnonymous21 Jan 2020I don't entirely disagree. But maybe the messiness can be reduced by having them send more complete updates to each other. Blockchains give the entire ledger to everybody; why not with the fediverse?

ReplyAnonymous21 Jan 2020No. Most people are not neo-nazis and will not be affected. Normal people will simply change their thoughts and beliefs to whatever happens to be socially acceptable at the moment. Dumb Lainposter. Lain needs the belt.

ReplyAnonymous22 Jan 2020That's the fucking problem with you, you think anyone who just wants to have a conversation without getting shitcanned for no reason is a neo-nazi.

ReplyAnonymous22 Jan 2020>First they came for the neo-nazi LARPersI did not speak up, because I was not a neo-nazi LARPer>Then they came for the other anti-semitesI did not speak up, because I was not an anti-semite>Then they came for the racistsI did not speak up, because I was not racist>Then they came homophobesI did not speak up, because I was not homophobic>Then they came for the normal people who don't want kids to become trans, including meand there was no one left to speak out for me

ReplyAnonymous22 Jan 2020uhm but that story was written by a literal nazi? hello???? cringe, famalam

ReplyAnonymous22 Jan 2020Yeah, and he's also acting like anybody who is vocally against tranny shit must be Literally Hitler

ReplyAnonymous22 Jan 2020I often report posts to facebook for vain reasons (it's a nigger, a sjw, muslim, scammer, etc...) Nas Facebook surprisingly remove posts that clearly have no business being removed. It's clear to me that Facebook only care about watever vocal people have to say, the silent majority is ignored.

The fediverse is based but mostly contain people banned from other platforms so it's hard to find decent instances. I wish anons would use it more for events instead of discord thought, discord is absolute shit.

ReplyAnonymous22 Jan 2020That's hilarious. I wonder how long it would work before Facebook realizes that NATZEEs are mass flagging sacrosanct tranny accounts.

ReplyAnonymous22 Jan 2020>can't stop talking like a Nazi for a single lineWhat makes you think normies want to be around people this retarded?

ReplyAnonymous22 Jan 2020>anyone who does not think or speak like me is raycust and nazzigood god, trump is getting reelected.

ReplyAnonymous22 Jan 2020Ever notice that the people who constantly call others X are the biggest X of all?
